Analysis: Italy near breaking-point

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

7 June was polling day for the Italians in their regional elections: a likely cue for further political disturbances and the halt of the fast waning economic boom. Italy has not yet passed its 100th birthday as a united nation, and in many ways it seems a nation at breaking-point.
Against the result of the regional elections. Analysis looks at the future of this country, often both the admiration and despair of other European societies.
